MailBridge

Check and send mail from other accounts inside Gmail

Gmail is shutting down "Check mail from other accounts" and "Send as" in Gmail. MailBridge brings them back: it fetches emails from your external mailboxes into your Gmail inbox, and lets you send from those addresses inside Gmail. This extension is the companion for MailBridge users. It does two things: 1. Instant Refresh: Get emailed codes and time-sensitive emails delivered immediately 2. Send As: Send from your other addresses without leaving Gmail Instant Refresh: MailBridge checks your mailboxes every 5 minutes. For time-sensitive mail like sign-in codes, click Refresh and the message arrives in Gmail within seconds. Send As: Send from your other email addresses without leaving Gmail. Pick your own address (custom domain, Yahoo, iCloud and more) in the From menu of Gmail's compose window. MailBridge sends the message through that mailbox's own mail server, so it arrives from your address and passes the recipient's checks. A copy goes into your Sent folder. Attachments and images in the message are included. Outlook and Hotmail accounts can receive mail through MailBridge but cannot send this way yet. Gmail access is optional. Turn it on in the extension popup when you want Send As. Features: • Send As: send from your other addresses without leaving Gmail • By default, reply from the same address the message was sent to • Instant refresh: get 2FA codes and time-sensitive emails delivered immediately • One-click refresh for any connected mailbox, or "Refresh All" at once • Real-time status: see delivery counts as messages arrive • Auto-connect: links to your MailBridge account automatically, no copy-pasting API keys • Fast startup: shows your connections instantly from cache • Privacy: Gmail access is off until you turn it on. The extension only sends the messages you choose, and never stores your emails. How to set up: 1. Install the extension 2. Click the MailBridge icon in your toolbar 3. Click "Connect to MailBridge".
